• Cucumbers

  Probably all of you know cucumbers, so there is no need to write anything about them. Just in case you see them in South East Asia, they will look different than the ones you know from the "West". But no worries, they taste nearly the same.

• Bun cha gio - Vermicelli with fried spring rolls

  If you made too many spring rolls, you can eat part of them with vermicelli and you get Bun cha gio. Really simple dish. You just cut spring rolls on noodles, add some vegetables, traditional Vietnamese sauce and here we go. I have got some pork on the picture too, but it was a bonus ;)

• Tempeh tofu veggie curry - Santan sayur tempe

Except for the very interesting cooking as usual, may be more interesting was watching the couple which owned the restaurant with a little shop.
